Full Job Description
Description

Port is at an exciting stage of U.S. growth, and the people we hire now will define our trajectory. We're looking for a Talent Acquisition Partner who understands the B2B SaaS talent landscape deeply, sources with intention, and holds the bar high for candidates and for the hiring process itself. This is a high-ownership role for someone who takes recruiting seriously as a craft.

What You'll Do

  • Drive full-cycle recruiting across GTM & Business functions: Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, and Partnerships, from first sourcing touch to signed offer.
  • Partner closely with hiring leaders to define what great actually looks like: role requirements, candidate profiles, and honest market realities.
  • Own the sourcing strategy: build pipelines proactively, not reactively. Find talent others miss through creative outreach and deep market insights.
  • Run a tight, respectful hiring process: structured interviews, clear feedback loops, and zero candidates left wondering what's going on.
  • Create a candidate experience that makes people excited about Port, regardless of the outcome.
  • Keep a pulse on the GTM talent market: who's moving, who's exceptional, what competitors are doing, and bring that intelligence to every search.
  • Champion Port's employer brand in every interaction, from the first LinkedIn message to the final offer call.


Requirements

Who you are:

  • 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience in B2B SaaS. Ideally at a startup or high-growth scaleup where you built process.
  • Deep GTM fluency: you understand the difference between an SDR and an AE, what makes a great CSM and how they all work together.
  • A sourcer's mindset: You don't wait for inbounds. You know how to find and engage passive talent and make them genuinely interested.
  • Data-driven: You use data for actionable insights on hiring patterns and identifying areas for process improvement
  • Bias for action: You move fast, keep hiring managers informed, and own problems rather than escalate them.
  • Sharp operational instincts: you bring structure to ambiguity, track what matters, and iterate on process without waiting for permission.
  • Excellent communication skills and a people-first approach. Candidates remember how you made them feel.
  • Based in Boston or Austin, comfortable in-office 3 days/week

Nice to have:

  • Experience recruiting in the Developer Tools or IDP space
  • Experience working as part of a global team
